  • Persepolis – Back in India : Interview with Marjane Satrapi
    Persepolis was probably the only animation movie to release in India which was not the usual kiddy fare and not based on any mythological charecters- what a relief! Must admit that the Oscar Nomination it received was truly deserved; just imagine a black and white , 2D animation movie getting full houses in theatres! Based on a graphic novel of the same name, Marjane...

  • Gulzar, A.R. Rehman and Subhash Ghai for Yuvvraaj
    All three sat together, perhaps for the first time ever. Another first – Gulzar providing lyrics to Ghai’s directorial venture. An interesting and engaging interview this, just by the fact of putting these three heavyweights together… though I wish Anupama Chopra could have put forth a few questions beyond the “how was it like..” types. Still...

    ……and ye ye this time its for real!!! I know, the fake ones were damn entertaining. Hopefully the real one will not disappoint you. Here is my latest theory on Ramu.
